When I think of Indian TV soaps, the first thing that comes to my mind is a memory of my 7th-grade self rushing to switch the television on, because my favourite show Geet – Hui Sabse Parayi was about to start airing. My mom was the only person who knew that the reason I was so hell bent on taking dominion over the TV remote was because I couldn’t possibly miss watching the main lead, Maan Singh Khurana.

Because, whatever might have been the plot of the show, I was only concerned about Maan Singh Khurana AKA Gurmeet Choudhary. I believe we all had our reasons to watch TV soaps, probably, still do. So here is a list of shows we watch for the ‘plot.’ *Wink wink, nudge nudge.*
